DAY 28 — PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE: HUMILITY THAT LED TO GLOBAL IMPACT

Anchor Scriptures

James 4:6
“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.”

Proverbs 22:4
“By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.”

1 Peter 5:6
“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.”


Opening Thought

New glory is not sustained by charisma or brilliance —
it is entrusted to humility.

God expands those who remain submitted.


Reflection

Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye’s global impact did not begin with ambition for influence — it began with a heart resolved to obey, serve, and stay humble.

Despite academic excellence, global recognition, and undeniable grace, one defining trait has marked his journey: humility before God.

When God elevated him into leadership, he did not rush to impress the world — he bowed deeper before God.

He submitted to instruction.
He honored spiritual authority.
He remained teachable — even at the peak of influence.

This is a kingdom mystery many overlook:

God does not promote pride; He entrusts glory to humility.

Pastor Adeboye teaches us that expansion is not a reward for self-effort — it is the outcome of submission.

God can only enlarge what He can govern.

In 2026, many desire platforms, visibility, and influence.
But God is asking first:
Can I trust you to stay small in your own eyes while I make you large in impact?

Humility does not reduce you — it positions you.
It keeps your heart aligned while your reach increases.

New glory flows safely through vessels who remain low before God.


Prayer

Father, I thank You for the grace of humility.
Deliver me from pride, self-reliance, and the hunger for recognition.
Teach me to stay submitted, teachable, and obedient in every season.
As You enlarge my influence, preserve my heart.
Let my life reflect Your glory, not my ego.
I receive grace to walk humbly into the new glory You have prepared for me.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.


Declarations

I walk in humility before God.
I am teachable, submitted, and aligned.
God’s grace rests upon my life.
I will not lose my heart while gaining influence.
Through humility, I enter new glory.


Spirit Challenge

Today, examine your heart:

  • Are you open to correction?

  • Do you honor spiritual authority?

  • Can God redirect you without resistance?

Pray intentionally for humility.
Ask God to keep your heart aligned as He increases your impact.

Remember: exaltation is safest in God’s hands.


Closing Exhortation

God lifts those who kneel before Him.
Stay humble. Stay obedient. Stay aligned.

Global impact begins with a bowed heart.

Welcome to 2026 —
Our Year of New Glory.
